{"input": {"content": "# var-go CAD loop runs end-to-end unattended with the Gitea issue thread as the audit trail (swedsl#18)\n\nVerdict (swedsl#18, 2026-07-11): the full loop — Gitea issue → executor → gate →\nreviewer → ship/block, outcome posted back to the issue — runs unattended and the\nissue thread alone tells you why something shipped or blocked. No out-of-band state.\n\n## What made it work (reusable design)\n- **Three block reasons must read differently in the thread**, or the audit trail\n  lies. Wrong code = anchored failure (sentence + expected/actual + offset). Lost\n  coverage = **drift** (unmatched sentence, no expected/actual). Malformed spec =\n  fail-closed (no/multiple oath blocks). Collapsing these into one \"not satisfied\"\n  signal destroys the triage value — keep them separate buckets on the `Verdict`.\n- **Drift is checked BEFORE execution** and surfaced as `Verdict.Drift`, not as an\n  opaque structural error from the runner. An unmatched sentence is coverage lost,\n  not a crash. It fails closed immediately (retrying can't restore coverage the oath\n  itself dropped) — no repair attempts wasted.\n- **The anchored failure (#3/#8 byte-span) is the ONLY structured repair signal fed\n  back to the executor.** That is what makes the fix localizable; a plain \"failed\"\n  would not. Bounded by a max-attempts cap that fails closed on exhaustion (no\n  giving-up-into-success), converges immediately when solvable.\n- **Executor self-claim (\"done ✅\") carries no authority** — the mechanical gate\n  decides. Mirrors the #8 reviewer-side rubber-stamp override on the executor side.\n- **Writeback IS the round-trip.** In tests a `Poster` interface is faked and the\n  comment asserted on CONTENT; in prod it's a gitea-MCP adapter. The real outcomes\n  were posted to fixture issues #19/#20 via the MCP — that post proves the loop, the\n  same way #8 proved extraction by MCP-fetching the issue body.\n\n## Dispatch note\n#18 was \"4/4\" and its deps (#15/#16/#17/#13) were still open.

{"text": "Done. Everything is committed, pushed, verified, and recorded.\n\n## Report\n\n**Issue #18 — end-to-end CAD loop posts a structured ship/block outcome back to the Gitea issue — resolved.**\n\nSince this is the 4/4 capstone and its dependencies (#15/#16/#17/#13) were still open, I built the minimal vertical those seams require, self-contained in the `spike/` module, with agents as stubs behind interfaces (real agent = config swap, per the issue's scope).\n\n### What changed\n- **`spike/loop.go`** (new) — the end-to-end loop: `Executor`/`Reviewer`/`Poster` interfaces, `Candidate` (whose self-`Claim` carries no authority), `Outcome`, `Loop.Run` (extract → execute → gate → feed anchored failure back to executor, bounded by `MaxAttempts` failing closed → reviewer only after gate passes → decide → post), and `FormatOutcome` rendering three distinct block reasons.\n- **`spike/gate.go`** — added `Verdict.Drift` + `detectDrift` (unmatched sentence = lost coverage, checked before execution, anchored in issue-body coordinates) and a drift branch in `Decide`. Additive; the #3–#8 tests stay green.\n- **`spike/loop_test.go`** (new) — red-first acceptance tests: `TestE2E_ShipPathPostsOutcome`, `TestE2E_BlockPathPostsAnchoredReason`, `TestE2E_DriftBlockIsDistinguishable`, `TestE2E_RepairLoopConvergesFromAnchor`, `TestE2E_FailsClosedOnNoOrMultipleOaths` — all asserting comment **content**.\n- **`spike/issue-19-body.md` / `issue-20-body.md`** (new) — dedicated open fixture issues (created via gitea MCP: #19 solvable ship+block, #20 drift), bodies embedded.\n- **`spike/SPIKE.md`** — follow-up #18 section.\n\n### Verification\n- `go test ./...` green in both modules; `go vet` clean; `go test -race` clean.\n- No CI is configured (CI/Actions wiring is explicitly out of scope), so local runs are the ground truth.\n- Real round-trip proven: posted the actual formatted outcomes back to fixtures **#19** (ship + block) and **#20** (drift) via the gitea MCP, and the verdict to **#18**.\n\n### Commit / branch\n- Branch `feat/18-e2e-loop-writeback`, commit `be54f7a`, pushed to origin.\n\n### Process findings (captured to brain — `homelab/failures`)\nTwo dispatch bash-policy denials the briefing didn't warn about, which cost turns:\n1. **`rm` is not in the safe set** — use `git clean -f <path>` for untracked files.\n2. **Parentheses in `git commit -m` are denied** — `feat(spike):` was rejected; `feat:` (no scope parens) works. Keep `-m` bodies paren-free too.\n\nTask-level verdict also recorded to `swedsl/decisions`.", "turn": 116, "type": "assistant"}
